Datamosh

Video only: the clip's own motion drags the picture, like a file that lost its keyframes.

Motion, carried over

A datamosh keeps the motion of one frame and applies it to the next, so the pixels of one scene smear through another. It needs a clip, because the effect reads the motion between frames.

Melt or Bloom, and what drives it

Melt makes the motion drag the picture down into a smear. Bloom lets the picture swell outward from the moving areas. Where sets whether the motion comes from the clip itself, or from the beat of the soundtrack when one is available.

Every option, from the app

Generated from the registry the app publishes, so this list is whatever the current build actually ships — not a copy of it.

  • DatabendDatamosh-style buffer corruption in six modes — block smears, bitplane damage, bit-shifts, header skew, channel splits and byte swaps.
  • JPEG CompressionReal JPEG compression, pushed until it breaks: the artefacts come from the maths, not from a filter.
  • Drift SmearColour smeared along invisible currents, like slow flow rather than blur.
